Good 1940s educational film made for (I presume) children
Low tech, yes, but I was suprised how much of the basic practise was already there.
The plane with the sliding roof towards the end....what kind of plane is that? Do any still exist? A suprising number of old airplanes survive in various states of condition. Some are still flying. I wonder if any of that exact model are still around.
Not a bad film, simpilstic, but not bad.

Neat little curio
This is a pretty basic educational film obviously aimed at elementary school students, but it remains quite interesting as a time capsule of early passenger travel. To my modern eyes it's amazing how low-tech the whole process was and also envious of how easy passengers had it. There's actually a guy walking right to gate and getting a ticket on the next flight. Easier than taking the bus!

It's the same narrator from The Bus Driver!
I'd hate to hear what this guy sounded like after eating a peanut butter sandwich.

The Airport
This straightforward Encyclopedia Brittanica film about airports is pretty dull in and of itself, but it has tremendous msting potential. With lines like "Here is the pilot. He is high in his plane," and "The passengers are waiting to get off," how can you resist? And when you see how small and low-tech the airports are and how easy it is for passengers to get on a flight, you will probably have a lot of post-9/11 hostility to vent.
Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: ****. Weirdness: **. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ***.

Great Overview of Airport Operation!
After a few dissapointing aerial shorts, this very nicely shot and detailed educational film about the usage of an airport is what I needed. Somewhat geared to kids, this is a fasincating snapshot of airports, circa 1948, and is amazing to see during these 9/11 times.
